Bug Description

Ubuntu Trusty r188, Ubuntu 14.10 r2, Ubuntu 14.10 r152

1. Go to System Settings > "Battery".
2. Look at the icons at the ends of the "Display brightness" slider.

What you see:
* The minimum-brightness icon is a light bulb with no rays.
* The maximum-brightness icon is a light bulb with rays and a lightning bolt inside it.

What you should see:
* The minimum-brightness bulb should have rays, because it is not zero brightness.
* The maximum-brightness icon does not have a lightning bolt, because that is strongly associated with battery charging.

The actual icons are suboptimal because they were designed for the torch feature, but we have already an icon called display-brightness-symbolic that was supposed to be used in the system settings menu to access to the brightness settings (I don't know if this still exists).

So, I added two icons to the theme:
* display-brightness-max which is a symbolic link of display-brightness-symbolic
* display-brightness-min is the same in half transparency
